"Cough, cough!"
The Demon Lord coughed, and pieces of his internal organs were spat out from his mouth along with his blood.
The Demon Lord didn't wipe them off, but looked at Shenlang who was standing proudly in the void with dim eyes.
"Shenlang, you really didn't disappoint me. I've fought countless battles in my life, and no one has ever been able to defeat me, but you've defeated me. It seems that this era is your era."
The Demon Lord coughed as he spoke, and blood flowed out of his mouth as if it was free.
Shen Lang's expression was indifferent as he looked at the wretched Demon Master and sighed softly. As Shen Lang sighed, the terrifying aura on his body began to dissipate. Finally, it returned to Shen Lang's original aura.
"Demon Lord, although you've lost, you've also forged your own glory. Even the future generations won't forget you."
Shenlang didn't say much nonsense. The Demon Lord was indeed worthy of respect. To be able to break through to the half-step Ancestor Realm with his own strength, his talent wasn't inferior to Saint Emperor Guan's. If the Demon Lord hadn't been sealed for countless years, he might even have a chance to reach the Ancestor Realm.
Of course, Saint Emperor Guan had also lived for countless years in the state of a remnant soul. The two of them had similar experiences and didn't have the opportunity to cultivate. Otherwise, Saint Emperor Guan and the Demon Lord's strength wouldn't be inferior to the Guardian, Buddha, and the others.
...
The impact of the battle between Shenlang and the Demon Lord was very wide. Even the depths of the starry sky hundreds of millions of miles away were affected by the aftermath of the battle.
In a dark space of the universe, there was nothing here, only endless darkness.
But with the aftermath of the battle between Shenlang and the Demon Lord, a light suddenly appeared. The light grew bigger and bigger, and finally illuminated the entire darkness.
The light finally turned into a golden light, and this place seemed to have turned into a golden world. Golden lotuses appeared, sacred and solemn.
"Senior Brother, how many years has it been?"
A voice that sounded old and middle-aged rang out.
"I don't know, it should be tens of thousands of years?"
As the first voice fell, another voice slowly sounded.
The golden world fell silent for a moment. After the two people spoke, there was no more sound. However, after the two people's voices disappeared, another eight people suddenly appeared on the golden lotus.
These people were all dressed in bright red kasayas and yellow monk robes. There were rings on their heads. Among the eight people, there were old men, middle-aged men, and even young men. They all looked different.
Some of them held their hands in the shape of flowers, some of them put their palms together, and some of them pointed to the sky with one hand and the ground with the other, representing the supremacy of the world.
These eight people were the Eight Ancestors of the Tenryū Temple, the Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils.
The Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils Eight could form a formation with eight people, and their strength could surpass one attack. When the eight of them joined forces, they were very powerful.
The Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils Eight had left the Zhenwu Continent long ago in the Primordial Era. At that time, the eight of them were all in the True God Realm. However, among the eight of them, only Tianzhong and Longzhong had reached the Ninth Firmament of the True God Realm. The others were all below the Ninth Firmament.
Originally, when the True God powerhouses of the Zhenwu Continent fought the Demon Lord, the eight of them also participated. However, for some unknown reason, the eight of them left the Zhenwu Continent resolutely without caring about the survival of the human race.
After that, the Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils Eight disappeared without a trace. No one knew where they went.
When Shenlang and the Celestial Lord of the Temple of Eternal Life were causing havoc in the Tenryū Temple, the incarnations of the Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils Eight had once descended on the Zhenwu Continent to stop Shenlang from continuing his persecution of the Tenryū Temple. Unfortunately, even though their incarnations had descended, they hadn't been able to save the Great Sun Sage. In the end, the Great Sun Sage had passed away in the Tenryū Temple.
"Senior Brother, our strength has reached a bottleneck. If we continue to cultivate, we won't be able to make any progress. It's time to go back and spread the glory of Buddha."
A monk with a masculine face and a stalwart figure said slowly with his hands clasped together.
"Yes, it's time. Back then, when we fought the Demon Lord, we left. It's time to go back and give them an explanation."
The monk who spoke was the leader of the Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils Eight, Tian Zhong. Tian Zhong had a benevolent face, like the Maitreya Buddha, and gave people a very good impression of him.
"Senior Brother, from the commotion just now, one of them must be the Demon Lord without a doubt. However, the other aura is somewhat unfamiliar, yet somewhat familiar. However, I can't guess that person's identity."
The leader of the Yakshas was a monk with a cold face. He was thin and didn't smile much.
Tian Zhong shook his head slightly. "I can't guess that person's identity either. Even if I use the power of karma, I can't deduce that person's identity. However, we should know all of this when we return to the Zhenwu Continent."
"Senior Brother, can the person who fought the Demon Lord win?"
Garuda, who had a sinister expression, asked.
Tian Zhong pondered for a moment before saying, "That person should be able to win. From the aura, that person's strength should be on the verge of a breakthrough. He can be considered an expert in the half-step Ancestor realm."
"This … Senior Brother, that person is so powerful. I'm afraid it'll be very difficult for us to spread the teachings when we return."
The aged Kinnaro said worriedly.
"It's fine. Let's pay a visit to that benefactor first and discuss the plan to spread the teachings."
Tian Zhong said slowly.
...
In the Zhenwu Continent, Shenlang still didn't know that the Eight Ancestors of the Tenryū Temple were about to return. Instead, he was still talking to the Demon Lord.
"Shenlang, I've never begged anyone in my life. However, this might be the first and last time I'm begging someone. I wonder if you can give the Demon Race a place to live?"
"The Demon Race is also a product of the Heavenly Dao. If you exterminate the Demon Race, I'm afraid you'll be tainted with great karma. There's a reason for survival."
After the Demon Lord finished speaking, he stared at Shenlang, waiting for Shenlang's reply.
The Demon Lord had been arrogant all his life. If he wasn't at the end of the road, he wouldn't lower his head. However, now that he was about to die, it was time for him to seek a way out for his Demon Race.
Shenlang thought for a while and didn't reject the Demon Lord's request. Indeed, it was as the Demon Lord had said. Since the Demon Race could be born, it meant that there was value in their existence. Even if he exterminated the Demon Race, he wouldn't let the Demon Race perish. Perhaps, after tens of thousands of years, the Demon Race would reappear in the world.
However, although Shenlang wouldn't exterminate the Demon Race, he wouldn't give them a chance to survive in the core of the Zhenwu Continent. Instead, he said slowly, "I won't let the Demon Race stay in the Central Plains. However, there are countless islands outside the Endless Ocean. I can leave them to you as a place to live."
The Demon Lord didn't say anything. Instead, he smiled in relief. It was already good that the Demon Race had a place to live. He had never expected Shenlang to let the Demon Race live in the Central Plains.
The Demon Lord's body slowly dissipated. Finally, it turned into starlight and merged into the vast starry sky of the universe.
"Demon Lord."
Thousands of demons cried out in unison. They turned into rolling thunder and floated in the sky above the Zhenwu Continent.
